I run about 4 times a week and I usually do so first thing in the morning, so the light is just perfect. So 6 months ago I decided to take a small camera with me on a run, and wow! I just loved how the shots they were turning out. So now I almost always run with a camera and just take in the scenery as I go. When I see something I like I stop and shoot, pretty instinctive really.I have a set created in Flickr from my running shots.
For this specific shot, I just followed the light. In this case the light was falling through some trees and that is when I saw this classic car. I quickly took 4-6 shots trying to catch the street and the reflections on the car. I took this shot at a lower angle to try and create some depth to the shot.
As the shot was taken with an “cheapish” point and shoot, the result was a bit flat so I used lightroom to increase the color temperature. To create that “dreamy feeling” I decreased the “clarity” and increased “sharpness”, I also like playing around a bit with the tone curve. That is pretty much it.
Exposure: 1/100
Aperture: f/2.8
ISO: 80
